With young babies they will try and see you faster. They also have an after hours GP clinic that works in conjunction with the emergency ward which can get you seen by a doctor faster. On 2 occasions we have seen GPs at RCH after hours and been taken straight through to the Emergency ward as the GP has realized that we were a true emergency situation. I think it can be difficult sometimes for the triage nurses to get a true idea of how urgent your situation is which is why seeing a GP first can sort of fast track your case.

Good luck Janie xxx
